2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT Evaluators Input:
The t Introduction
A utility pole is a column or post used to support overhead power lines and other public utilities,
such as electrical cable, fibre optic cable, and related equipment such as transformers and street lights. A
typical utility pole supports three facilities: electric power, cable television, and telephone. Some utility
poles also support all manner of other devices: streetlights, signs, traffic signals, seasonal decorations, fire
and police call boxes, antennas, municipal communications systems, OPGW (optical ground wire) fire-
and police-alarm signal wiring.
This documentary focuses on the issue of cable wirings covering our skylines in black spaghetti.
And apart from their ugliness, the tangled mess of overhead power lines, phone and television cables in
Tarlac continues to pose a threat to city residents. Traffic cables in front roads have caused tremendous
traffic congestion on the road. And electric poles holding hundreds of heavy, tangled wires are common
in many streets around the city of Tarlac.
